Title: Gas feeding system for an internal combustion engine, having a pressure reducing valve and a pressure regulating solenoid valve
Inventor: RICCO RAFFAELE
IPC: F02M37/04
Filed: 2005-02-01
Abstract: In a gas-supply system for internal-combustion engines, a pressure-reducing valve (7) is set between the reservoir (3) of the gas and a distribution manifold or rail (2) that feeds the gas to a series of electromagnetically controlled injectors (1) associated to the various cylinders of the engine. The reduced pressure supplied by the pressure-reducing valve (7) is further reduced via a pressure-regulating solenoid valve (83), to an extent that depends upon the supply current of its solenoid (99). The electrical supply to the solenoid (99) of said solenoid valve (83) is controlled by an electronic control unit (C) according to the signal issued by a sensor (8) of the pressure in the rail (2) and according to stored maps, which supply the optimal pressure value for each operating condition of the engine.

Abstract: A method for migrating a substance to be analyzed, which comprises the following steps: a) a step of adding the substance to a migration medium carried on a base material having a surface to be contacted with the migration medium which has been covered with a polymer film, and b) a step of applying a migration pressure to the resultant migration medium; and a device for practicing the method. The method allows the control of various properties of the surface of a base material to be contacted with a migration medium. For example, by utilizing a plasma polymerization, a film being uniform in its thickness and quality can be formed on the surface of a base material having an arbitrary shape and a variety of properties can be provided on the surface through the selection of a monomeric material. The adsorption of a protein in a microchip can also be effectively suppressed.

Abstract: When an image signal (DVb) of a variable-frame-rate picked-up image produced by an image signal producing part (10) has been recorded in a signal recording/reproducing part (30) and if an instruction of reproducing this signal is given, then the recorded signal is reproduced and supplied, as an image signal (DVr), to a frame rate converting part (21). The frame rate converting part (21) converts the frame rates of the image signals (DVb, DVr) to a display frame rate and supplies them, as image signals (DVb', DVr') to a monitor image signal producing part (41). The monitor image signal producing part (41) produces monitor image signals for displaying images, which are based on the image signals (DVb', DVr'), in a single screen. The frame rate can be adjusted with reference to the displayed reproduced image together with the image being picked up. As a result, the image signal can be easily produced so that the motion of a subject, when reproduced, will exhibit a desired speed.

Title: Finger merge protection for rake receivers using polling
Inventor: LEVIN JEFFREY A
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 2003-12-09
Abstract: Techniques for performing finger merge protection (FMP) using polling.  Whenever a command to adjust the timing of a designated finger is received, other fingers "on the same channel" (i.e., those for which merge protection is sought) are polled for permission to apply the command. The designated finger sets a poll request and provides other pertinent information to an FMP storage unit. Thereafter, each of the other fingers on the same channel determines whether or not applying the command would result in that finger merging with the designated finger. Merging may be detected if the difference between the timing (or offsets) of the two fingers is less than a specified offset spacing. Any finger on the same channel may disallow the command if merging is detected. The designated finger would then adjust its timing if the command is not disallowed by any of the fingers on the same channel.

Title: Electrostatic method and device to increase power output and decrease erosion in steam turbines
Inventor: SKLIAROV VOLODYMYR P
IPC: F01K9/00
Filed: 2005-07-05
Abstract: The wet steam exiting a low pressure steam turbine does not rapidly attain thermodynamic equilibrium because insufficient condensation nuclei are present in the phase transition zone inside the turbine. Therefore, the steam is subcooled, decreasing the power generated by the turbine, and the liquid water carried by the steam consists of relatively coarse droplets which strike the surface of the turbine blades causing erosion. Corona electrodes installed inside the turbine before the saturation line create electrically charged particles which serve as condensation nuclei, decreasing subcooling, and producing a large number of fine droplets. Thereby, thermodynamic equilibrium is more closely approached, more power is generated, and smaller water droplets cause less erosion inside the turbine.

Abstract: The invention provides an improved service to commuters at vehicle Stop locations (Stop) by announcing at each Stop on the route, on a visible display device, and by audio announcement, the expected time delay of arrival of the next vehicle. The information is derived by passing information by digital radio transmission from Stop to Stop in a dynamic cascading flow of information, without the need for a central authority to be aware of the location of each vehicle. A device inside the vehicle, operated by the driver, reports by digital radio transmission to the immediate Stop ahead the vehicle's imminent arrival, thus initiating the cascading flow of information from Stop to Stop down the line, and also announces inside the vehicle the name of each Stop location through a pre-recorded announcement of good clarity. The route information is stored on a removable memory device that is inserted into the device in the vehicle at the start of a route.
